Our thoughts and prayers go out to those affected by the events in France on Friday evening. Our hope is that the world can use the events of the past few weeks in order to galvanize efforts to ultimately rid those who would prefer the world in Chaos.
We have opened registration for our Leadership Summit which will be held at the PGA National Resort & Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida on March 7-9, 2016. We remind everyone that we are limiting registration for this event and we have a limited number of rooms blocked. You can register on our website or through our office: 800-432-3475. As with other conferences hosted by Steel Market Update we offer a discount for your SMU membership (this one is $150 per person) and we have another discount for early bird registration ($250 discount good through January 1, 2016).
Our mid-November flat rolled steel market analysis will begin at 8 AM ET on Monday morning. If you receive an email invitation please click on the button which will take you to the questionnaire which is hosted by SurveyMonkey.com.
If you would like to be added to our survey invitation list please shoot me an email at John@SteelMarketUpdate.com.
